BALTIMORE, Md. (WHTM) – Baltimore Police arrested three men after seizing a large amount of fireworks on July 4.

Police say at around 8:53 p.m., officers working out of the Southwest District investigated a “large amount of illegal fireworks” found under a tent on the 2500 block of McHenry Street.

Police charged three men in their 30s who they say assaulted officers, leaving multiple injured.

All of the fireworks seized by police were recovered by the Baltimore Bomb Squad Unit and ATF agents were notified. Police did not identify the suspects arrested.

In Maryland, fireworks that are prohibited by state law include Roman Candles, Sky Rockets, firecrackers, cherry bombs, smoke bombs, and any firework that is shot from a mortar tube.

Citations can be issued and fines can be levied for those who possess or discharge fireworks without a permit.
